  1. Up to 50% off samples, presets and templates. Sale extended to 31st of August. https://blackoctopus-sound.com/
  2. Usually, me neither. I let the music go where it wants to and sometimes I end up happily surprised and sometimes in a musical cul-de-sac. My concerns are actually limited to a particular side project where I have a very clear idea how things should sound, and they should not sound like a Crouching Tiger or a Hidden Dragon. But I wants the Erhu in it. Because. Yes, the word I should have used is distinctive instead of unique. I have heard plenty of Erhu in modern productions, so I don't think having it in a piece is going to win any awards. But it might make people go "Oh, that's that Chinese instrument, whatsitsname. What are these Vikings doing with it?" Edit: Just to clarify, I like mixing instruments and styles from different cultures and eras, and the more I think about it the more confident I am that the distinctive sound of Erhu is not going to be the kind of problem I built it up to be in my head. I like to try running everything through a wah pedal just to see how it sounds.
  3. The Efector Modulation Bundle and Custom Bundle are 50% off at Best Service: Modulation Bundle (includes 4 Efector plugins) Custom Bundle (choose 5 Efector plugins) Price per plugin is a bit lower than buying them separately.
  4. Normally $40, now $30. Offer available until August 31st. https://www.jonmeyermusic.com/meyer-felt
  5. The code below: SHCA-2999 https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/shadow_hills_class_a_mastering_comp.html Edit: This is a 48 hour deal.
  6. This weekend only. Use the code WEEKEND-25 https://auroradsp.com/plugins Using the code you can get the 510EQ plugin for free (intro price $9.99), though I'm not sure if it's good enough the be worth the trouble. Edit: They added a minimum spend to use the coupon, so the above doesn't work anymore. Try the code WELCOME20 instead (thanks Niky Serrano).
  7. https://audioplugin.deals/mideast-vocals-ii-by-rast-sound/ Product page: https://rastsound.com/downloads/mideast-vocals-ii/
  8. I listened to a bunch of demos of other Erhu VIs and I believe you. In comparison, this one sounds glorious and I'm really tempted to get it, because the sound of an Erhu is so unique (in my ears). My only concern is that the sound is TOO unique, and if I drop an Erhu in a track it's going to dominate and color the whole song, conjuring images of stereotypical Asian things (whatever they may be), even if everything else in the song speaks of Nordic forests or whatever. Guess I'd have to try to know for sure.
  9. I've been eyeing at their Kantele library. Too bad it's not part of the sale. Comparing demos it sounds better than the one from Have Audio.
  10. My coupon is $29 off and I already have the Everything Bundle...
  11. Plus extra 20% off with the code EXTRA20. https://insanitysamples.com/
  12. Normally €499, now €299.40 (VAT excluded). Ends August 22nd. https://www.strezov-sampling.com/products/view/sc-ultimate.html
  13. Oh jeez, it's like reading a VI-Control thread. Am I going to need a similar glossary for this forum now? (BTW, ITOFTS 2)
  14. Oh, so that's what the ICYMI meant... Well, older and wiser once again!
  15. Of course he did. I received the email just today, so I thought this was a new thing.
  16. Sound Packs? Whatever. Don't get too excited, because they are small, but they are free for all SampleTron 2 owners: The Grunge Tapes and The Lost String Quartet.
  17. You can choose credit on the first page and on the next page where you give your information (and enter the coupon code), you can change the payment method to PayPal. At least that's how it worked for me.
  18. Well, I went ahead and bought the bundle. Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be an expensive mistake... (I also bought Hammers, which I'm pretty sure I'll like.)
  19. I'm thinking about getting the Advanced Bundle: https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/advanced-bundle/ Albion Solstice sounds like something I'm currently looking for, but I wonder if the Percussion Swarm and Contemporary Drama Toolkit are worth the extra €. Any thoughts?
  20. Well, GitHub is a platform for distributing source code, not ready-to-use applications, so the binaries are a secondary resource in a way. If a project has binary releases available, that's just by courtesy of the developers. In any case, on GitHub the binaries are always made available on the Releases page, so that's where you'll find them if there are any. I'm not a software developer, so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe that compiling binaries for different platforms may not always be that easy. It may require specific tools and knowledge about the platform, and in the case of Mac you may even need the actual computer, so for a smaller project it may simply a matter of resources. That's why some projects rely on third parties to provide Windows and Mac binaries. But yeah, I hate hunting for binaries, too.
  21. My understanding is that a dealer is someone who gets their product straight from the manufacturer, whereas a reseller is basically anyone (besides the manufacturer) who sells the product. Since Audio Plugin Deals most likely get their keys from IK and not from some unauthorized sources, I'd say they qualify as dealer. Some dude on KVR on the other hand, probably not. But what do I know.
  22. Understandable, my post had not other context except the quoted text. I have now edited my post to make it more clear which program I'm talking about.
